Not all Comic Con attendees are young and mobile. This lovely man is our favorite jeweler in
real life. Also in real life, he is an
enthusiastic member of the Society for Creative Anachronism.
Their web page tells me, “The
Society for Creative Anachronism is
an international organization dedicated to researching and re-creating the arts
and skills of pre-17th-century Europe. Our “Known World” consists of 20
kingdoms, with over 30,000 members residing in countries around the world.
Members, dressed in clothing of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, attend events
which feature tournaments, royal courts, feasts, dancing, various classes &
workshops, and more.”
Even at Comic Con, they
not only joust in mail and armor they built, they have a booth where they share
all the crafts and arts. I find them fascinating,
but personally cannot imagine spending all that time and energy on
reenactments. I have enough trouble
maintaining one costume that I wear just one day a year. I took the side seams all apart yesterday to
bring it up to specs. After the sewing
machine stabbed me in a finger, it refused to sew with an unappreciated
clatter.
Tomorrow I will attack
this glitch with great verve.

- Himself: Working way too many long hours.
- Me, myself, and I: Would you believe, a foot fungus. I have joined other friends and am turning off the negativity in the news, and as a result am feeling less angry.
- Reading: Hillerman, and sitting with it in my chair downstairs, I keep falling asleep.
- Gratitude’s: Books till noonish, then maybe tackling the sewing machine. I only have two major seams to sew. LOL
Turning off the news is probably a good idea.....there is nothing we can do about any of it any way.
ReplyDeleteAmen to your comment.
DeleteThe machinery gods strike again. Hope you're sewing again soon.
ReplyDeleteWent to lunch with friends. I faced the TV. Periodically the print on the screen would strike me dumb. So glad there is no TV left in my house.
ReplyDeleteI always learn something from you Mage! Another great post!
ReplyDeletegreat verve be you
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit but I am glad to live in these times and not those times. Yet, ancestors did manage to live through those difficult years.
ReplyDeleteThere are times when I wonder how people lived in that day and age. What did they eat? How did they prepare their food? A bit too primitive for me. LOL I like my comforts! I have about 1/5th of the baby quilt quilted. Will try to get a bit more sewn today. Good luck with your machine. Ouchers on the needle stuck finger...
ReplyDeleteCool looking outfit and cool looking guy. Me too on the news.
